Well Mrs. B. I am quite frankly under the impression that this "Choreboy" is
putting us on...

One can only imagine if this were the days of crank gramaphones when one had
to change gramaphone needles continually - she would be in a constant state
of eroded needle uproar!

I clean needles with the little emery bag attached to the tomato pin
cushion.

It's super fine sand and cleans off the yukkies.

I can't believe they don't make stainless steel sewing needles. I have
some rusty needles, too, You could sand them with fine wet-dry
sandpaper. I like the advice about the chalk and storing in a warmer
place.
